Re: [BackupPC-users] BlackOut during entire days

Hi,

Nicolas Cauchie wrote on 2013-05-30 14:36:54 +0200 [[BackupPC-users] BlackOut 
during entire days]:
 Hello all,
 
 I'm looking for a trick to program a blackout during weekends days (from 
 saturaday morning 00h to sunday night 24h).
 
 Results : no backups at all saturadays and sundays.
 
 From Google :
 
 $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
 {
 hourBegin =  0.0,
 hourEnd   = 24.0,
 weekDays  = [0,7],
 },
 
 seems to don't work..
 
 Any idea ?

usually, this is a result of not having enough good pings, but in this case
I'd guess you have a wakeup scheduled for 0:00, and this is when backups are
started. You could drop this wakeup from the schedule or shift it by a small
amount. Then again, BlackoutPeriods is checked when the backup is *run* (as
opposed to *queued*), which would tend to be slightly later than the wakeup
anyway - at least for some hosts, unless all are started in parallel. Check
your configuration(*).

Regards,
Holger

Sorry I didn't mention the xfer method. All servers use rsync over ssh. I
plan to try the above this weekend with the full runs.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude directories

2013-06-07 Thread Gary Roach 
I hope this doesn't confuse more than help but I had a problem with the 
= share notation using rsyncd. The system ignored my exclusions. The 
instructions say that this happens only if you are using smb (as I 
remember) but not other transfer protocols. I switched to a streight 
comma delimited list for the include files and cleared the problem. 
Unless you have Windoz machines I don't think the share notation is needed.
